#3. Marcus Smith (England)

One fan wrote: “Tries to dazzle in attack to compensate for his fear of the tackle. That’s fine if England were dominating the forward battle ensuring limitless ball for the backs. Sadly there aren’t so the rest of the backs are in effect defending with one short.”

A second said: “Marcus Smith is the most overrated player rugby has seen for decades.”

Another wrote: “Marcus Smith is grossly, grossly overrated.”

A fourth commented: “Marcus Smith is sooooo overrated. He’s a good prem level player, but nothing special at international.”
